Did you move away? Do you miss home? Do you want to come home? Maybe you can't move to Torrance, but you can come back home for a night. Celebrate the 50s with the Torrance Historical Society and the Toyota USA Automobile museum for the 4th annual 1950s-style family "Rock Around The Block" event in celebration of Torrance's "All-America City Award" - one of America's original and most prestigious community recognition awards. The city received this award for "Growth without strain" back in 1956 when Albert Isen was Mayor of Torrance. 50s-era vehicles will line Post Avenue - from Cravens to Sartori. You can enter the Cake Walk, Hula Hoop, Pie Eating and/or Bubble Gum Blowin' contests. Those who love Torrance have been showing up over the last few years - we want all of you who love Torrance to show up, too! This event will start rockin' at the Torrance Historical Society & Museum (1345 Post Avenue, Old Torrance), on Thursday, July 17th, from 5:00PM-8:00PM. Be there or be square.
